I wasn't talking to you either, I was speaking in general, to the public about all of us. Who cares what you do?

Why should devs pay any attention to wayland when after a decade the project still suffers from severe deficiencies of functionality over X11.
If I did it again I would go into mycology and run around forests to collect samples, while some forests still exist.

I am almost certain the first system alpha was ported to was ultrix, those other ones didn't exist yet. Probably developed for alpha, but on its pre-release demo I saw it was ultrix. Sometimes I confused ultrix with sgi/irix

According to distrowatch for a couple of years going MX/linux is nearly twice as popular as the second most popular.
MX were part of the mepis community antiX belonged to too, with more than a decade of history and body of forum discussion.
Partitioning among other things, the choice of efi/bios gpt/mbr, bootloader and its location, choice of filesystems, is dangerous to someone who has only win10 experience. Also the mindset of stop being a user and become a sys-admin is also foreign to windows users with MS dominating the role of sys-admin.
Qt since its 5->6 transition has become very restrictive in its non-commercially licensed terms. A legal team must have worked hard and long to stretch this as LGPL, meaning that GPL licensing needs more attention to detail.
There is practically no support and no way to report a bug unless you are a paying customer, is what I kept.
My main issue is those two GTK and QT, are pushing linux to become an MSw and Mac alternatives respectively. Both ugly and anti-unix
